On Earth As It Is on Television

This almost got abandoned. I liked it well enough, just kept putting it down and reading other things. I think maybe there were too many viewpoint characters, so I didn’t really get invested in any of them. I think the cat telepathy could have been a selling point if I’d liked any of the cats more than I did. They could have been really funny, but were just a little funny instead. The most funny parts were definitely the children of the father and the alien mom. I think it took too long to finally figure out the mystery of what was going on. I would have liked to see more of the space ship, I think.

idk… it's not bad; the author tries to be funny, and the way the story is told is anything if not fresh, and yet… for me it just has not «clicked».

The first half takes forever and nothing particularly interesting happens. In the second half, interesting things do happen, but they take a while to develop.

I think part of the problem is that it's supposed to be humorous, but none of the jokes land so it's quite a lot of filler for very little plot. If it wasn't listed as a comedy by my library, I wouldn't have known it was supposed to be funny.
